Sarcoma is a malignant tumor of connective tissue. It can develop anywhere in the human body. Sarcomas appear in muscles, fatty tissues, bones and other organs.
The most common types of sarcomas are:
- Chondrosarcomas - develop in cartilage tissues and cause the appearance of solid tumors.
- Fibrosarcomas - occur in muscle tissue, causing an increase in tumor size and impaired muscle function.
- Leiomyosarcoma - formed in muscle tissue and leads to dysfunction of organs.
- Liposarcomas - appear in adipose tissue and cause weight gain.
Sarcoma is a malignant tumor that develops from connective tissue. It can occur in any part of the body and is not limited to a specific organ or tissue. The most common forms of sarcoma include fibrosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (tumor in striated muscle), liposarcoma and lymphangiosarcoma (tumor originating in the lymphatic system), osteosarcoma (develops in bone), rhabdomyosarcoma (originates in muscle tissue).
Signs of sarcoma may appear depending on the location and may include severe pain, fever, swelling and swelling. Sarcoma can grow in size quickly and become very large and diffuse over time. In addition, it can metastasize and spread to other parts of the body.
Various techniques are used to diagnose sarcomas, including x-rays, computed tomography, and ultrasound. A biop may also be required.
